We stayed a night during a cycling trip on the island. The lady who runs it was helpful and friendly without being intrusive. We chose one of the rooms with a view, even though the bathroom was not en-suite. The en-suite room that was available had no views, whereas the views from our bedroom window were amazing. The pub food... More

Stayed at the Taversoe Hotel with a friend one night in October while visiting Rousay. Checked in then went off to explore Midhowe Broch and Chambered Cairn and the other buildings along the route to St. Mary's Church. On our return had some pints and then dinner. The local beers were excellent and the meal was superb. I should note... More

I stayed for 3 nights on business, and was well looked after. The staff are very friendly and helpful. My double room had a lovely view out to the sea and Mainland Orkney. The bed was very comfortable and all amenities were provided. The room is not ensuite, but the bathroom is a mere few steps away across the hall.... More

The proprietress was very welcoming, efficient, helpful, and not intrusive (she really runs the place: bar, meals & management). A very nice restaurant and guest lounge with a spectacular view (which you also have from your room if you are in room 1 or 2). The meals were really excellent and local sourced; we had succulent home made burgers. She... More

We had a perfect lunch of soup and sandwiches at the Taversoe Hotel. The menu has great options, the food was freshly made, and the view from the restaurant was fantastic.

My boyfriend and I recently spent 3 nights at the Taversoe - we thought that the food was excellent (lovely homemade chips and bread). The price of the food and drink is very reasonable and we could not fault the quality. The views from the Taversoe are out of this world! We could sit for hours, just looking out of... More

The food was awful. It seemed to have all been prepared using a microwave. Only plain foods like "fish and chips" or "chicken with bbq sauce on top" were served. The soups were always good but they seemed to have been microwaved cartons of soup that had not been freshly prepared by the hotel themselves. My room was only cleaned... More
